Women and Words

Overview, 18-24 Feb. 2017

Andi and Jove attempt to figure out what exactly a “Medieval Pass” is before they wax serious with regard to Ashley Bartlett’s blog and then Renée Bess’ blog. They’re glad that Women and Words is the kind of space contributors feel comfortable expressing thoughts on the topics both Ashley and Renée addressed this week. And then they got crazy again and rave about the movie Mad Max: Fury Road because nothing says date night like post-apocalyptic car chases across a vast wasteland. Especially with Charlize Theron driving. CHARLIZE THERON, people. She can drive us anywhere she wants!

23 Feb.: Author and Women and Wordster Renée Bess wrote a moving piece on dealing (trying to deal) with her mother’s recent death, and how she’s trying to navigate the changed circumstances in her own life.

Jove brought up the LGBT+ readers’ n’ writers’ event held in Seattle every fall. It used to be Gay Romance Northwest Meetup and it has changed its name to Read with Pride Northwest. We’ll have more info as it becomes available. Also, ClexaCon is NEXT FREAKING WEEKEND and Andi is so excited she can BARELY STAND IT.
